[ale] setting up WP sandbox on Ubuntu...

[Step]

Thanks, makes sense.  I chopped the mysql list from 2325, to 2190 after
clearing out /var and /etc.  The good news is that at this point I could
access phpmyadmin, though I couldn't login.  However, starting lampp put
some of the mysql entries back in /etc, and I still couldn't login to mysql
at the command line.  So I completely removed lampp, which chopped me down
to 630 mysql items in my list.  It looks like almost all of those are php,
perl, and related type things that I (am assuming) I can safely ignore.

But I do have a few entries each under /etc/rc0.d, /etc/rc1.d, all the way
through /etc/rc6.d.  Do I need to remove those 27 entries?  Is there an easy
way to do that with rm, or do I need to navigate to each directory?  I tried
doing "rm *mysql*" and "rm -r *mysql*" in /etc, but that (obviously?) didn't
work because the files are in directories without mysql in the name.

Thanks for helping out, doing this stuff is the
<strikethrough>best</strikethrough> only way to learn.  :)
